THE EMPIRE The Modern Motor Car The ilrivc-r will have less excuse than ever for dangerous driving. The less attention a driver has to give to the nu'chiiiiism of his vehicle, the mor attention should he be able to pay to events on the road; and the more responsive his car is to breaking and acceleration, the easier should it be for hira to maintain a wido margin between himself and tho risk of acci- dent. The modern motor car Is a line piece of work, a mechanical thorough- bred; If all motorists were worthy of their cars there would be very few accidents. â€" Leeds Yorkshire Post.

South African Airways The figures compiled by Union Air- ways of their activities for the past four years form a very striking tri- bute to the management. The safety factor reaches 99.96 per cent., while the revenue earned in proportion to subsidy is 51.60 per cent., compared with the 48.33 per cent, of Imperial Afrways (also very good,, and th? 20.83 per cent, of French companies. The subsidy works out at 7d. (about fourteen cents) a mile, compared with the French 5a. 6d. (about 11.30). It these figures are correct. Union Air- ways must be tho cheapest as well as one of the most efficient air linos in the world. In view of the success of tho company. It la pretty obviously en- titled, with the advent of belter timeB, to an increased subsidy.

Feeds Dog Through Letter-Box Graveseiid. â€" While their employers were away on holiday two domestic servants, Kathleen and Kllen Allen, of Gravcsend, left the house against In- structions, and the pets of which they wore in charge. A gardener, looking throuph a win- dow of the house, saw a dog in a dis- tressed condition. It was fed for three days with biscuits through the letter- box. A parrot was subsequently found dead from starvation in its cage. Dcfeiulants were each fined £10 and costs at Tonhridge for cruelly to the parrot. Advised to Punish Wife Liverpool.â€" "What you want is a good hiding, und your husband ought to give it to you." Mr. K. J. Ward, a magistrate, at Liv- erpool Police Court, made this remark recently to Mrs. Helena Willis, aged •10, who was charged with attempting to comniil suicide by Jumping Into the Mersey. She was discharged with a caution. It was stated that Mrs. Willis, while seated on a bench at the landing stage, Mverpool, borrowed a pencil from a man, wrote something on a piece of paper, and then walked to the river wall. The man became suspicious, and fol- lowed her, and was just in time to grab her feet as she was diving into the river. Mrs. Willis stated that she had a quarrel with her husband and was de- pressed. Career of Champ The career of Champion Kedd-Boi of Iwade is one of the greatest romances in the history of dog-breeding. As an eight-weeks-old ball of fluff he was such a disappointment that his breeder, Mrs. Foster Burgess, offered to sell him to a woman fancier for £5. Tho prospective buyer thought his nose would grow too big and left him on Mrs. Burgess' hands. Then he developed so remarkably that he broke all records by becoming a full champion at the early age of ten months. And now this 8Vj lb. of cheeky pride is the moat valuable dog the world has ever known. Uedd-Bol has earned that distinction by virtue of an offer made for him by a rich American woman, one of sev- eral breeders who have come over dur- ing tbo past month to try to buy up our best Pekinese. Her offer was in writing, and in- cluded a blank cheque on wliich Redd Hoi's owner could write any amount she liked. Mrs. Bu{gess handed the cheque back! "No figure was named for Redd-Boi." Mrs. Burgess said, "but I could have had more than £3,000 had 1 been will- ing to sell." The disappointed American visitor, !Ls the next best thing to Redd-Boi, has bought three puppies from the kennel and has been promised a lourth. 'â- Mistake" Stamps (ilendolck, Perthshire. â€" Two Nyasu- land stamps, a fourpenny and a two- penny, dated I'.lOT, caused a stir in a stamp sale room. In 1907 a few of tho stamps were printed on paper with the wrong watermark. When sent to the llritish Isles they were sold by a dealer for 10s. each. A few years ago they real- ized £60. At Harmer's sale room recently they were sold for £225. The stamps were in the famous col- lection formed by Mr. A. W Cox of Glendoick. Unhealthy Post Calcutta, India. â€" Three European magistrates have been murdered at Midnapore. A fourth has Just been appointed to this perilous and unenvi- able post. He is Mr. P. J. Griffiths, now on leave. -*ho will succeed Mr. B. E. J. Burge as district magistrate. Mr. Burge was murdered on Septem- ber 2, just as he was about to take part in a football match at Midnapore. Ii is understood that in making an- other appointment the Government has yielded to the pressure of Euro- pean officers who have urged that this action must be taken in order to up- hold the honor of the British nation and of the Indian Civil Service. OflJcers declared that they will stand by their three murdered col- leagues even If twenty others are shot. Mr. Barge's immediate predecessor, Mr. R. Douglas, was murdred In 1932, and Mr. Peddle in 1931. Already the Government has been warned that the next magistrate will be murdered. The distribution ol leaf- lets stating "Midnapore must remain without a magistrate" is the latest form of terrorist activity in the dis- trict. New Channel Cable London.
